I don't believe that at all. It's normal to be attracted to people of the opposite gender (it's normal and healthy), so the rabbis enacted gender segregation as a precaution to keep the genders from mingling (i.e. to demote promiscuity).

Only by people who see things in a warped way. Part of the problem (no offense) is when Orthodox Jewish people describe these rules the way you did. It isn't about separating women from men, it's about segregating genders. What starts off as semantics ends up giving people the wrong ideas.
Wow, you really have bad comprehension skills!!!! Of course it's normal to be attracted to all women - that'a the point! We dont intermingle ( I called it Separating men from women, you called it segregating genders), because if we do we'll be attracted to each other. It is asur to be mistakel al etzbah ketanah shel isha. Man, and I used to think you were smart.

Maybe it's your writing skills.

( I called it Separating men from women, you called it segregating genders)

Not the same thing. Your statement makes it sound like men need to stay away from women, when really it's genders that need to say apart. Call it semantics, but your phrasing leaves a lot of space for people to get the wrong idea.

We dont intermingle ( I called it Separating men from women, you called it segregating genders), because if we do we'll be attracted to each other.

You obviously don't know the definition of attraction, it has nothing to do with proximity or mingling (i.e. you could stay away and not mingle and still be attracted, totally normal).

Man, and I used to think you were smart.

Sorry, takes one to know one :P

Booya!

Really? Attraction is biological, like being hungry is. It has nothing to do with hirhurim, mistakel, or whatever other Hebrew words you choose (those are indulgences by choice).

you may be right, i dont know if i was clear enough. btw i disagree, we specifically seperate men from women, bec. hirhurim is asur by men, the isur histaklus is on men. true we also segregate so not to intermingle. basically theres 1 reason that we seperate both from each other, and theres another one that we seperate men specifically.

if you see a woman you can be attracted to her which can cause hirhurim. therefore we dont mingle with women  and then we wont to be attracted  to them (which would be normal) as not to cause hirhurim which cause.... do i have to spell it all out for you. learn the sugya of histaklus, hirhurim its all there.

So women can mingle with men, but not vice versa? ::)

You can not mingle and you'll still see women, so if you can't control yourself you'll be nichshal anyway. Either way, I maintain that attraction <> hirhur, the former is natural, the latter by choice.

redacted per Lamdan's request below

I lack respect for people posting opinions that come across as derogatory and make me and my ilk (yourself included) look bad. Feel free to start a poll in just shmooze about whether people think I have a condescending/disrespectful demeanor, and we'll see how the voting plays out.

I'm sorry if you were offended by my responses to your post, but I was offended by the content of your post (what you said, I couldn't have known what you mean).
